Re: What computers did you grow up with?

- Apple II clone - then switch to ATARI ST - Mega ST - TT (two of them actually; the first TT - the one which ran only @ 16 MHz didn't survive being used 24/7 and was returned; the revised 32 MHz model still works...) - Falcon - Mac Quadra AV - Mac Powerbook 190 - Win 95 Pentium 90 - Mac PowerPC 850...

Re: [Video] A simple 16MHz hack for my STE: why memory access is so important.

Incidentally, one thing I completely missed from my video (on account of an extended period of brain fade caused by an excess of booze, cheese and chocolate, I suspect) was cache. @Darklord mentioned it in the previous thread and, of course, it bridges the gap between a faster processor and normal ...

SC 1224 color temperature, gamma

Hi all, I recently got hold of an SC 1224 and was really surprised about how different its colors are compared to the NEC 1970 NXP LCD I used so far (in the 90's I did only have a SM 124 on the ST, therefore I've no idea how it should have looked in color). The SC1224 manuals show these X/Y values X...

Re: Not good Microsoft, you've lost me now.

Agreed, I'd forgotten that one, that was actually a pretty poor move on their part. Indeed. That's why I won't touch an M1 system. Maybe wait until M2 or M3 generations. As a rule of thumb it's certainly true that this often happens with first gen systems at Apple (esp. with architecture changes). ...

Re: Which CF cards work with the IDE to CF converter for Falcon?

The subject says it all! I know the Falcon can be picky about which CF cards it will actually accept for the IDE to CF converter, so can anyone recommend a brand / model of card to buy that will work? Cheers, Rich You might consider durable SLC based CF cards like the Transcend Industrial 2GB Compa...

Re: FPU Compatible Software

It just runs the asm code wherever it's loaded into ram. It calls alltest.o which gets loaded into ram while GB6 is loaded. The stack size I don't remember offhand, but think I doubled its size over the default allocation size. Maybe 8k iirc. All CPU related tests are run from asm code in fact. I t...
